Last Listing description (January 2024)

If location is everything then this spot is picture perfect. Positioned around the middle of the iconic Cairns Esplanade and only a 10 min walk into the main entertainment hub of bars and restaurants, this ground floor unit benefits from a large private, landscaped patio area with outdoor dining and viewing platform to sit and take in the views while relaxing with a drink. A gate leads from the patio straight out onto the Esplanade for easy access.

Internally, the apartment features 3 bedrooms, the main with ensuite, a family bathroom, and an open plan dining/living area. It also comes with a lock up garage and a carport to title.

But it is the external views and living space that excites the most. Most other similar types of units would just have a small balcony, but this outdoor area is large and spacious.

Perfect to live in yourself, rent out through the onsite managers, or Airbnb it, this is a great opportunity to get in on the ground level with ocean views.

The numbers that matter:
- BC fees approx. $13.5k pa
- Council rates approx. $3k pa
